Hallo Mutable22, here I am!!!
South Node was conjunct to my ascendant, in 11th house of solar return, and, in addiction to it, it squared my natal sun, mercury, uranus, and it was opposite to natal saturn in 5th house. North node was conjunct to DS of course...well I was really scared, as you know...but nothing terrible happened. Ok, my 3years son went through tonsillectomy (North node conjuncted natal saturn in 5th?), I had some busy and stressful time, but it was tolerable. Some friends o'mine got pregnant, some new babies are born (maybe asc in 11th conjunct to SN?). So, don't be afraid if you can.
